Finally got my VMR 701s on

135iiiiii · 10-24-2011, 07:59 PM

As the title states, finally got my 701s on the car. I guess this would be a sneak peek at the car since I have a painted grill, KW V1 coilovers, iCarbon CSL carbon fiber trunk, M3 carbon fiber hood and M3 carbon fiber dual outlet diffuser to install in the next week or so.

Don't mind the center cap on the front, it's in there now

Front: 19x8.5 +45, 225/35/19 Nitto 555s
Rear: 19x9.5 +50, 245/35/19 Nitto 555s

Just have the stock suspension there. The KW Coilovers are going to be installed next week hopefully. We are only going to drop it 1/2" to 1" at most. Louisiana roads are horrible after hurricane Katrina, not that they were all that good to begin anyway.

must be the angle of the shot making it look lowered then usual

Will do, still debating on painting the hood and trunk but that won't be until later either way.

Yeah, will probably do that soon enough. As soon as I recover from all the rest of the major surgery she's about to endure. We are also making our own custom 3" downpipes, full 3.5" exhaust and intercooler set up at the shop. Hobbies are expensive.

They are the Bimmian covers. I've taken them off, put them back on, taken them off and now put them back on. I know everybody goes back and forth on here about the orange markers. I'm one of the ones that can't stand them. Will eventually get euros but until then its hate/hate relationship.

RaihaX · 10-24-2011, 11:31 PM

im just glad we dont get the orange markers over here

1FAST1 · 10-24-2011, 11:43 PM

Me too, that means OEM headlights are made without them

Just so expensive. I'll get them eventually and sell mine to recoup some of the cost. They just look so clean, I'm jealous.

Will do, with Halloween coming up this weekend I might have to wait until the following weekend. Halloween is a big deal down here in New Orleans. Either way, won't be long. We are doing it ourselves so I can take some pics of the process.
